Private Roadways and Car Accidents

A private roadway is one that is owned by an individual, company, or corporation rather than owned by the government.

2012-01-02

DALLAS, TX, January 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) A private roadway is one that is owned by an individual, company, or corporation rather than owned by the government. For example, parking lots and roads around the private property of the campus of a large company are private roadways. Like the government, the owners of private roadways have a responsibility to keep them maintained and safe for anyone who has permission to use them.

In many cases, auto accidents on private roadways are no different than auto accidents on any other road. When you are involved in an accident caused by another driver, you have a right to hold that individual responsible for any damages you and your passengers may incur. However, if your accident was caused by improper maintenance or a dangerous roadway, proving liability may be a bit more difficult.

How an Attorney Can Help

The cause of your accident may have been another driver. The cause of your accident may have been a negligent development company. The cause of your accident may have been a crew responsible for snow and ice removal. The cause of your accident may, in fact, lay with a number of parties.

Like any accident, you will want to notify emergency personnel to come to the scene. Reports will be taken, medical services will be performed, and witnesses will be questioned. As with other accidents, it is in your best interest to cooperate with police and EMTs, gather contact information from the other drivers and any witnesses, and document the accident scene with pictures taken by your phone or camera.

These things may still be inadequate to prove liability, leaving you holding the bag for all of the damages caused by your accident. An experienced auto accident attorney can take your information and conduct his own thorough investigation into your accident. With his findings, the responsible party can be held accountable, and you can seek maximum compensation for your damages.

Insurance companies will be working for all of the other parties to ensure you are not awarded what you are due. An aggressive car accident attorney will not back down to insurance companies but will instead fight around the clock to see that all of your damages are considered, and you are given every penny you deserve.
